Check out Neil Boortz and John Linder's Book about the fair tax. It would be a consumption tax that only taxes purchases and not income. It even provides for the poor and middle class by giving money every month for people to cover the basic necessities. A lot of people dismiss it off-hand as a flat tax or unfair to the poor who pay little or no income tax, but it is indeed fair and would do-away with the IRS. Neil Boortz is a Libertarian radio talk-show host and is wrong about many things, but this one is right on. Anything to 69 the IRS is a good thing, but it will not happen without the support of the people because the government is too invested in the status quo to take it seriously.
